[Exclusive] Sky Super Cloud factory witnessing cloud landing over cloud factory

August 16, 2010, is located in the southeast corner of Beijing, also Zhuang economic development zone, North Industrial Software Park, the 18th building officially opened the Ribbon. Leaders from all walks of life witnessed the birth of China's only economy without the world, and the Tian, which has been brewing for a long time and rushing for years, is extremely exciting. This is the Beijing Xiangyun base.

Cloud Base is Tian's third venture.

The cloud base is positioned for entrepreneurship. Time was chosen in August 2010. is because cloud computing is the future http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/9764.html "> Development direction." The wonders of the cloud base are related to time. We call it the cloud base speed.

A miracle of cloud base speed is the birth of the Super Cloud Factory. The Super Cloud factory was only four months old, from siting to decoration to moving. This newborn is not so stunted than who are more robust, production lines, quality testing equipment, quality testing centers have reached international standards, workshop environment, health and even staff dress is strictly to the point of the harsh. It is precisely in the production of strict control, junior server is the industry, but the market has won recognition, especially to win the Taobao, the national network, Qihoo 360, such as the heart of big customers.

Super Cloud Factory

Spring is the season of sowing, the sky and the clouds in the spring of 2011 completed from design to development and production of the whole process. There is data for the certificate, December 2010, heaven and earth sc-r6240 the first product release of the cloud. March 2011, from the mainstream general-purpose sc-r2000, sc-r3000, sc-r5000 to the performance of the sc-r6000, SC-7000, World Super Cloud five line 25 products are available. "That period of time, we work overtime every day," Shora factory deputy director of the Cloud network, said the reporter.

If you take a tank to describe heaven and earth, the Super Cloud plant is the engine of the tank, providing a steady stream of power. But what exactly is the engine? What kind of magic is there? With these questions, the Chinese cloud network reporter a row of three people came to Beijing World Super Cloud Factory, for the base colleagues opened the mysterious veil of cloud factory.

Cloud server is focused on the cloud

Cloud server focus on the cloud, how the characteristics of the cloud is well interpreted, how to do a good job of the cloud, which is the most users of cloud server to seize the place, but also the cloud server provider to solve the problem first. In short, "High density, high performance, high reliability, high scalability, low energy consumption, low cost, low carbon" is the "cloud" where.

As for the performance of the Super Cloud server, we cannot but mention one of the world's super cloud investors, the United States micro-server. "The reason we chose to work with the Super Micro is because the design concept of the micro-server fits the needs of cloud computing-high density, high performance, low power, these are the characteristics of our cloud." ”

With the design of the cloud, how to put these cloud ideas into practice on the machine, this is the Super cloud factory to do. In the process of visiting the production line of the Super Cloud Factory, reporter saw this manufacturer is not like a traditional sense of production enterprises, and more like a factory of art production, each process requirements are extremely strict, testing personnel on a process audit completed, in the assessment of the relevant options on the list after blending, before you can enter the next link. Only in this way, cloud server "cloud" can truly benefit the user.

Shora is happy to do his job, he says: "No matter how hard it is, we have to do it well." Next, we should start from lean production, compress production cost, optimize supply chain structure, optimize inventory structure and process flow, so that the Super cloud Factory can finish the supply of front end better. ”

Heart-line Super Cloud Factory

Entrepreneurship more than a year, Shora for us to tell him the deepest impression two things,

"Highly customizable, responsive user needs is the goal of the Super Cloud server, a well-known network security companies in the industry to put forward a demand, two general board card is not inconsistent with customer needs, that is, compatibility problems." We have worked overtime with our micro colleagues to customize the new backplane and replace it according to customer needs. In other words, we have two days to achieve the customer requirements of the function. This is also a big reflection of the speed of the super cloud.

"The other thing is, six months in the design and development of production of 25 kinds of products, and achieve quantitative production, can supply to our front-end, this is not an easy task, there are many need to communicate and coordinate things to do." In fact, according to past experience, a product import, it will take 3-6 months time. The product line such as Super Cloud is so wide, basically the customer has request, can give it to make out. It's not easy. "

The road to entrepreneurship is a bumpy future is bright

As we all know, manufacturing profits are very thin, and the super Cloud Factory can not escape this rut. Now, the server is no longer simply to spell hardware, spelling is running on the server software. "We are now working with the cloud trends and friends system, in the hyper-Cloud server pre-installed cloud trends and friends of the development of the cloud-based operating system, the implementation of the" Open box is cloud. In the future, software binding hardware to sell is the direction of development. We look forward to further cooperation with the cloud trend and the friend system, "Shora said.

Server manufacturing is a easier job. Imagine, screw a few screws on it. In fact, it is a complex process. Therefore, the dependence of people is also relatively strong. "Therefore, we always pay attention to the professional training of employees." Next, we have to engage in ' quality month ' activities, the actual requirements of the customer and the actual operation of the staff corresponding to ", of course, training talent, also can not be less for the development of talent training," we continue to strengthen the communication and communication. We send people to study Ultra Micro, Micro also sent to visit and guide us. "For the future, Shora said," We have to do better on the basis of Ultra micro technology. "

Shora admits that the whole team has been under a lot of pressure. Production is different from other jobs, "because production is a binding indicator, production is a mistake can not be committed, a person can not make mistakes." Shora said, in the sales-oriented manufacturing industry, how to put the constraints of the indicators to do a good job is the most important.

Looking to the future, Shora confidence, "from the market, product and operational efficiency, we still have a lot of room to rise." Believe that after more than a year of team running-in, people grow up, process progress, operating level improved, our product quality will certainly have made great progress. ”
